SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The weather is evidently not without its effect upon our Tory Contemporaries. Clouds are gathering in the news papers as well as in the heavens, nor could the gloomiest November fog be more dense or impenetrable than is the meaning of those cheerless predictions which are uttered by the Times, the Standard, and our twaddling old friend the Herald. " The crisis is at hand," says the Standard. " The State will become rotten," says the Herald, " and the abandoned interests of the noblest and greatest em pire on earth become past saving." " Strike now or— never," roars the Times. " Let the Queen's Government at once extend and invigorate the activity of the dock yards, put on more hands (a genuine Tory recipe), pre pare more ships, open a rendezvous for seamen at every port, send out reinforcements of sailors, an increase of guns," &e. • but, above all things, do not intrust " the wooden walls of Old England to the care of the members of the Whig aristocracy—minions of a Court where fa vouritism rages with such extreme indecency." Purge oar navy of all such incumbrances as these, and supply their places with " weather-beaten veterans" (Tories of course), and then let not a moment be lost in declaring war. The immediate cause of all this valiant expenditure of ink is to be found, as well as as we can discern it, in the intelligence contained in some recent letters from Constantinople. It is said that the Russian Minister bad addressed a note to the Sultan, arrogance, the Autocrat has presumed to threaten a war with Turkey should that power ratify the treaty lately signed with England. Such a threat admits of no second interpretation. It is a plain declaration of war against England ; and whether the Ottoman Porte Vow to the the menace, or submit, England must prepare at once, and upon a . scale commensurate with her rank and the impor tance of the objects in peril, to vindicate her insulted honour. Prompt and extensive preparation will probably avert a war ; but even if the madness of the Court of St. Peters burgh, and its vain reliance upon the O'Connellites and Canadian rebels render the calamity inevitable, the contest will be brief, unexpensive, and on our side successful, in the exact proportion of the promptitude and extent of prepara tion. Economy at the commencement of such a straggle is the most insane pred:gality in the end." We need scarcely sta'c that we quote these observations from the columns of cur Co:itemporarieswith the greatest sa tisfiction, opposed as we are, and have ever been, in politics —first, because we were the first to denounce the aggressions of Russia, and to demand t.prestion to them from the British Government—secontily,beeau se subsequenteventshave justi fied our view ofthe matter—andldstly, because all party feeling aside, we find every independent Paper coming forward in the same cause. From the Morning chronicle and the Globe—tied down as they arc by Trt.asury mandates—we expected nothing, and eotl.ieg is to be seen in their co lumns ; but if their s . .lence be symptomatic of the feel ings of the Government, we unhesitatingly add, that the Government that can dcubt e here not only the game is in its hands, but where the henour and interests of the coun try are concerned, is ond:s...rving of support. Never did a Foreign Minister of Eagland have such a splendid oppor tunity of immortalising hitnself in the annals of his country as Lord Palmerston now has—never was a Foreign Minis ' ter so abused for pursuing a false and ineffective policy, and such a happy occasion of proving the falsehood of the charge. And if he do not now prove true to himself, to the honour, and the interests of Britain, there is no reputa tion too mean, too low, ton coittemptible, which ought not prising him that the ratification of the treaty with England would be regarded as a declaration of war with Russia. This we do not believe. We do not think that Russia would commit herself by the adoption of such a course. Had she done so, it is not unreasonable to suppose that our Government would have received the intelligence of it. But they have not. In fact the thing seems so highly improbable that we attach no credit to it. That Russia will not permit the treaty ,to be ratified without straining every nerve to prevent it is what our Government must of course be prepared for ; but the sending of such a menace to the Sultan is a step which, if taken at all, would be taken only in the very last extremity. The true object, however, with which this newspaper tocsin has been sounded is not to call up a spirit of patriotic resistance to the aggression which we are told is menaced by 'Russia. No. It is to summon the Tory recruits to what is their " nationll struggle"— the struggle for the possession of the Treasury benches. All depends, we are told by the Standard, on an "early change in the Administration." Here we have at once the means and the end. The promptitude and the decision which the Times would apply to a change in our flock-yards the Standard would concentrate upon a change in Downing -street. Such "a change," indeed, it pronounces "inevitable in a few months." But then " why forego the inestimable advantages of effecting it at once?" Our readers are no doubt curious to know what may be these " ine:Aimable adsantages." They may be briefly summed up in the comprehensive phrase—a Tory Govern ment instead of a Whig. The purpose of all others for which this inestimable change is to be effected is to pro tect Turkey from the aggressive designs of Russia. Wel lington and Peel and Aberdeen are to be the saviours of the Sultan. This is certainly a comprehensive idea of re tributive justice. By no Ministers could reparation be more appropriately made than by those who themselves inflicted the injury. To the Duke of Wellington and his Cabinet Russia is indebted for the treaty of Adrianople (we refer the Standard to its " able ally" the Times). To the same Ministers Russia is indebted for the possession of the mouths of the Danube, and for the acquisition of the two positions which are emphatically called " the keys of Asia Minor." And these are the men who are to be se lected par excellence as the protectors of Turkey. For the peculiar satisfaction of the Standard we add ano ther authority to strengthen these facts, and to show, if possible, more clearly the nature of the protection which Turkey might expect from the Duke of Wel lington. Our Contemporary has too frequently relied upon the dispatches in the Portfolio to refuse them in evidence now. There is one, the authenticity of which has never been questioned, in Nos. 8 and 9 of that publication, addressed by Count Pozzo di Borgo to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. At the very moment that Russia was menacing the Ottoman empire, that the occupation of Constantinople was by no means improbable, and that Turkey was looking to the Wellington Ministry for support, Pozzo di Borgo writes— " We have no cause to fear an open rupture with Great Britain ; she will content herself with counselling the Porte to beg peace" (!) And it is to the Ministry whose conduct so fatally justified this most degrading anticipation that we ore again called upon to entrust the protection of the Otto man empire. Another " inestimable advantage" which the Standard promises from the " immediate change" is that the Tories would " invite, and not repel, the co-ope ration of the natural allies of the empire, and of Aus tria in particular. Now, with respect to Austria, whose alliance would, no doubt, be of the utmost consequence in such a conflict, let us see what better prospect we have from the Duke of Wellington than from Lord Palmerston. The whole British and French Press (with the exception of the Standard, which, despite of a recent promise to the contrary, is silent on the subject) are una nimous in ascribing the most beneficial and important re sults to the treaty just concluded between this country and Austria. Even the Tinos admits that it is "a pru dent and efficient measure, adopted under difficulties of no ordinary sort ;" that it is calculated to "quash a projected invasion of Turkey, without spilling a drop of blood ;" that it opens to us the whole course of the Danube, and establishes England in close observation of every minute to be in store for him. We agree with our Morning Con temporary—" Strike now or never uphold the honour of England, or be for ever Irst in her just indignatioa.— Morning Advertiser. The intelligence 1.,e, - i‘ed yesterday from Malta makcs it abundantly clear that, instead of having " recommenced those experiments of intimidations upon the Sultan Mah moud which on former occasions have been attended with consequences so ruhions to the best interests of Turkey, and so alarming for the equilibrium and the repose of Europe," the Court of St. Petersburgh has very recently made the discovery, and begun to act upon it, that those experiments would, in pr. s-nt circumstances, be equally foolish and abortive, and that they might even prove, in some degree, dangcrous to the Power that attempted them. The letters from Malta, which are to the 4th inst., state that her Majesty's steamer the Rhadamanthus had arrived there, bring;mr, despatches from Sir R. Stopford. This vessel left the Admiral cn the 26th ult., on which day the British squadron was still at Ourlac. On the following day (the 27th) the Piinerss Charlotte, the Minden, the Vanguard, and the Alia were to sail for Malta, touching at Paros. The Bellfrophon was to return to Athens. The Rodney, the 7'ct/areth, and the Pembroke (the two first having just joined the flat t) were to continue with the Capitan Pacha until the return of the Ottoman fleet to Constantinople. The three last-named vessels, it was ex pected, would spend the winter at Smyrna. On the 26th of October Sir Roburt Stopford and all the Captains of the British fleet were invited to dinner on board the Turkish Admiral's vessel. The entertainment is described as having been of more than usual magnificence, and the most perfect cordiality is said to have reigned between the officers of both nations. The Capitan Pacha presented Sir Robert Stopford with a pipe richly set with jewels. Com mander Walker, of the Vanguard, is said to have been in vited by the Capitan Pacha, to take the command of a Turkish ship of the line, the Sultan Mahmoud, of 130 guns. The invitation, it was believed, would be accepted, as soon as the permission of the British Government had been obtained. The temporary separation of a part of the British fleet from that of the Porte, attended with such circumstances as are here described, will be taken, we imagine, as r ery conclusive evidence, not only that " the experiments of intimidation" above mentioned had wholly ceased, but that the apprehension of their being speedily recommenced had also been entirely banished from the minds both of the Sultan and of Lord Ponsonby. The last " experiment of intimidation," we believe, was that of which the British Ambassador at Constantinople apprised. his Government in a dispatch dated the 13th ult., the prin cipal contents of which we bad the satisfaction of commu nicating to our readers on the 6th of the present month. On becoming aware of this " experiment of intimidation," Lord Ponsonby, as we informed the public a fortnight ago, adopted the very obvious and simple course of sending " pressing instructions to the British Admiral at Vourla to hold the fleet in readiness for eny emergency that might arise." This order to the British Admiral, which we may venture to surmise Lord Ponsonby did not take particular pains to conceal from anybody who had the least pretension to make an inquiry upon the subject, utterly defeated the " experiment of intimidation" then in progress. The order seems, indeed, to have effected even more than this—to have extinguished, at least for the present, whatever hope might have been entertained of the success of any fresh experiment of the same kind. Subsequently to Lord Pon sonby's order no such experiment has, we believe, been made ; no such experiment has, we believe, been expected. —Morning Post. Having laid before our readers a sketch of the system of crime in the metropolis, as prevalent 20 years ago, and as existing under the New Police force, we must now treat of a kindred subject—the extensive practice of street-beggary, with its attendant frauds, distinguishing from them that class of cases and claims which are referable only to mis fortune. Colowel Row:in, one of the Commissioners of Police, strongly exhorts the public to abstain from the in discriminate gift of alms in the streets, which encourages this mock patperism. The charity which is disposed to relieve immediate want will bestow itself most advan tageously through the channel of the Society for the Sup pression of Mendicity, an admirable institution, founded about the end of the last century by the benevolent exer tions of Mr. Matthew Martin, which inquires into the cha racters and circumstances of street beggars, and dispenses relief with a degree of knowledge and system unattainable by individual alms-givers. Subscribers are furnished w ith tickets, which maybe used by themselves and their friends, and presented to beggars instead of money. Worthy ob jects of distress repair with these tickets to the Society's office, and are assisted according to the nature of their wants ; impostors, fearing detection, throw the tickets into the kennel. Of course, however, there will still re main some cases in which it will be not only objectionable, but actually necessary, to give direct relief in money, as on sudden accidents, or where destitute persons are found unsheltered in an inclement night. In these cases there is no time for application to the Mendicity Society. Our be nevolent readers, we are sure, would be much interested by perusing the whole of the evidence given to the Com mittee of the last session by Mr. Knevitt, the Society's assistant-manager. Its length prevents us from inserting it in full ; but we proceed to give an outline of its most im portant contents. To some of the London beggars, parti cularly the blind, their infirmities are a fortune, but a for tune which is, of course, ill spent. More than half of the blind beggars of the metropolis are known to the police as bad characters, and one of them has been repeatedly conticted cf keeping a brothel. Some of the most notorious vagrants are females. There is a one-eyed girl named Brady, who has been in prison from 20 to 30 times within the last years. She spends more than half her time there. The moment she comes out she re sumes her trade of begging. She is to be found from time to time in all parts of the town, but one of her most favou rite resorts is St. Jamrs's-squa-e. The pursuit is a very profitable o ne : a skilful beggar is sometimes apprehended with one , two , t h ree, or four pounds about him. The greater whatever.the r a s p a b r e t e.n o , of There r t e l p e e f r r t a e t iil r y t a i it y would not work on any terms he sits up with a paper before 'b prison,ho: f s the a a face, interesting t m ap e r et s o t ag T o c m h i d n s he says his father is a respectable mechanic Pity the s a a nd ia h c e arr h i a a s ibl t e a , ke th n e h f i , m ith Magis trates, on various occasions , sentfor ; the father, have poor ;' homeer would; a t have e t a th at e hia b g oy m b a e r c e am ta sovereign e r w e i i t g h n h s a i s - rn i d d a ; y I asked how htobliya usually sb: b ag o l n g h . a s said he has got e h spent alf- a went to the play and b took some b H oy e s and girls with him.

A blind man was recently threatened with a commitment to prison, unless he would go to the workhouse and stay there. tb ne d daughter His plea was, that his daughter was out of place. officer gl,t e r w i a f s sb s e en e t en t i o i s,-.y we would assist in clothing no, she don't want " principalprNetot:y - pretty-lookin g ok i thoroughfaren g gi girl, get a place ; the mother said, another, h e e n r . a Thisnd then girlen loiteringi in the s h h a o b u i t t She was a decent; of going out with her " ler, and leading him from one in the neighbourhood, explained to the father, he was leading the girl into tem ptation ; being blind he could not see what she was in." There is less begging c t ; ' n or s w a hat company she was day, a difference eceasifned n th d e ay than any other which is reaped by the beggars on the Saturday harvest on night from good-natured people, chiefly women , • going to market, The notorious Quin, "'a man that • is about London ,ahtnoft any . p l ace. , with a white night-cap, is generally out of a Satur dayg ; night, sitting on some ste p pretending to be dyin g the moment he is re. unizel by anyb o dy w h o knows him, c he takes to his heel , • fist as most men in Lon don ; he is now in re 4 * 1: the beggars have their days in the week, they have the .r reasons in the year. In June, when London begins to get thin, a great number of them movement executed by Russia along the northern fron tier of the dominions of Mahmoud." Pray, is this " to repel" instead of " to invite the co-operation of Austria ?" Let us now see how the Duke of Welling ton " invited the co-operation of our natural allies," when he was called upon to rescue Turkey from the fangs of her deadly enemy. Again we produce the unexceptionable evidence of Count Pozzo di Borgo. The main object of the dispatch to which we have before ad verted is to inf orm th e I m pe r i a l Cabinet of the disposi tions entertained by the different European Powers to wards Russia at th e c l ose o f the first campaign against Turkey, when the success of the war was at least pro blematical. The object of Austria at this time was to " invite the co-operation" of England, France, and Prussia to intervene between Russia and Turkey. To accomplish this the dispatch represents Prince Metternich as making the most strenuous exertions. He assured the Duke of Wellington th a t h e h ad secured Prussia, and entrusted to his Grace the task of securing the co-operation of France. France, however, was not " invited" (though Charles X. was on the throne), A ustr i a was " repelled, " and the Tory Cabinet " contented itself with counselling the Porte to beg peace!" According to the Standard, we are now in " a crisis" resembling, as near as possible, that of 1828 ; and the only intelligible object we can see in restoring the same Cabinet to power is, that they may again be " con tented with counselling the Porte to beg peace."—Morning Chronicle. We stated yesterday that it afforded us peculiar gratifi cation to witness " the unanimity of spirit which prevailed in the breasts of British subjects when the honour, the dig nity, or the interests of Great Britain" are concerned ; an we gave as an instance the sturdy and hearty support afforded by the Times in behalf of the me3sures recently adopted by her Majesty's Ministers, and of the policy which it is at once their interest and their duty to pursue ; but we were assuredly n o t p re p are d either f or suc h a singular coincidence of opinion as is evinced by the followi ng quo tations, or f or t h e a b le o b servat i ons o f t h e Stan dardonth e same subject Advertiser.—" Let Lord Palmerston have no fears about him with regard to the language which he ought to hold out to Russia. Delenda est Carthago—is the motto of every British-born subject on this point ; and he will greatly fail in credit to himself, and justice to his country, if he do not act upon it." Times.—" There is not an Englishman of ever such in veterate Radicalism in his views of domestic policy, who would dream of withholding the m os t amp l e supplies to the Queen's Ministers for the commence ment or prosecution of a war against the semi-bar barous, but insidious, Court of Russia. There is not a faction in the whole British Empire, save that unre deemed and incorrigible one which has so long been insti gated by O'Connell and the Popish priests of Ireland, that would not receive to-morrow, with hearty exult a ti on , t h e tidings that to faci litate the ex ecut i on of our co mmerc i a l t r eaties in the Euxine , we had signed to-morrow morning a triple political alliance for defensive purposes between Austria, Turkey, and Great Britain, The game is i n Lord Palmerston's han ds, if he can but play it. Austria has no less reason than Turkey herself to fear the aggran disement of Russia south of the Danube, and by her posi tion, organization, and resources, she has ten times the means enjoyed by Turkey of turning such advantages to the discomfiture of the common enemy. We say to Lord Palmerston—strike now, or never. The Standard.—" The Czar, believing that in duping and intimidating the Statesmen of England, and it, promoting a certain amount of noisy discontent among the English people, and the provincial and col°, ial population of the empire, he has overreached and weakened the Bri tish nation, now precipitately stretches out his hand to grasp the fruit of fraudulent labour. But lie will be dis appointed ; he has to learn, and he will learn it, whoever may be the Minister of England, that the wisdom of our ancestors' has not left England at the mercy of statesmen or of factions —that the founders of our free constitution have left to the people, generally abstracted from any care for :the details of politics, the ultimate determination of the fate of their country, and with the power to determine, the power also, and the will to determine for its safety and honour. It is said that in the plenitude of his THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1838 leave town for the watering-places. They travel on foot, with their families, begging as they go, and lodging for the most part in houses about the outskirts of towns. In London there are lodgings at all prices, from twopence to sixpence per bed, according to the accommodation. In some places they sleep three or four in a bed, with several beds in a room ; the lodging-rooms being all locked, and the landlord and landlady usually sleeping in an apartment close to the street door. The best test fur distinguishing real from feigned distress is found, by the Mendicity Society, to be the willingness to work. In order to obtain money-relief with- out working, sickness is often counterfeited. " Only this morning," says Mr. Knevitt, " a woman came with her child. I asked where her husband was. She said he was very ill in the hospital. I asked her what hospital. She said the North London Hospital. I asked what was the matter with him. She said he had a fractured thigh. I asked what ward he was in. She said in the accident ward. Not being satisfied with the answers she made, I told her I would send an officer up with her to the hospital to see her husband. She changed colour. I said, 1 can see clearly your husband is not there." Why,' she said, 'he is not : he has been in, he now is out: She was sent down stairs, and absconded directly." For the purpose of inquiringinto the numerous cases which present themselves, the society keep a clerk, who examines the applicants from a printed list of questions, and, after taking their answers in writing proceeds to their lodgings and other places of refer ence, to ascertain their characters and silt their stories. While the investigation is pending they receive food for each member of the family, and money enough to provide them all with lodging at night. This is the general course ; but sometimes, when very inclement weather sets in, the applicants are too numerous to allow the possibility o f examination into each individual case, and then a selection of cases is made for inquiry. The Society has a stone-yard and a mill, where the men arc put to work, and rooms wh , re the women and elder children are employed in pickinc , oakum. The younger children are kept in a separate part of the room. The Society's premises were increased during the severity of the last winter, when many thous knd persons were employed and sheltered from the weather. In many cases, the poor, thus relieved are sent home by waggon to their parishes ; in others, they are provid4d for only till they find work elsewhere. When * parties have fallen into distress without fault of their own, and arc found to be very deserving, money relief is given, sometimes to the amount of several pounds ; or flannel and clothing. These articles, however, arc often pawned ; for, with all the inquiry possible, there is necessarily a great deal of deception ; but the balance of good is incalculable. A poor person is seldom sent away without food. Those who are kept at work receive bread and nutritious soup or cheese ; and at the stone-yard, the labour being hard, the men get a supper in addition. Those whose health appears to be suffering are never put to work ; they are sent to an hospital or infirmary, or provided with medical advice ; and, in some cases, those who have been overtaken by misfortune are relieved at their own houses, through a visiting officer of the Society. The applications of last winter, which were increased by the rigour of the weather to a greater number than they had ever reached before, were chiefly from a class of people not previously known to the Society—men who had been frozen out of their work at the docks and on the banks of the river. Many were thus discharged by their employers for six weeps and two months. There was no work, an d t h ey cou ld get no re One ey Saturdayresided, be th ca e us s e oc t i l e re t y y - in e w re h . ich liefhad fromno settlements parishes relieved nearly 1,400 families, and gave away 6,000 meals. " You do not consider the Society, even in the most inclement weather, is open to the charge of under taking an office which they cannot adequately discharge ? Decidedly not. You are enabled to do that, I conclude, by the benefactions of the public increasing in proportion to the application you make ?—I always find an appeal to the public has been responded to by the public during the five years I have belonged to the office." It gives us great gra tification to be hereby the means of rendering this Society (and its humane objects more generally known, and of point ing out to our charitable readers a channel in which their bounty may be permitted to flow with the least possible danger of misapplication or abuse. We have thus pre sented an outline of the principal subjects with which the Metropolitan Police has to deal, from the hardened felon to the sufferer whom distress has driven into the streets. We shall next have to consider the constitution of the po lice itself, and the means by which it may be brought most efficiently to bear upon the suppression of vice, the relief of wretchedness, and the security of person and property.— Times. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Nor. 15. DENT V. BENNET. This is a bill to set aside an agreement under which the late Mr. Jonathan Dent, of Winterton, in the county of Lincoln, stipulated for the services of the defendant, as his medical adviser durirg his life, on the condition of paying a sum of twenty-five thousand pounds at his death. Mr. Dent was, it appeared, a Quaker, of eccentric habits ; his pleasure was to amass money, and lie lived in a very retired manner, with two servants, one of whom compounded his medicines under the advice and with the assistance of Mr. Bennet, who is a surgeon living in Bar ton-on-Humber. Among other peculiarities Mr. Dent had a great dislike to any payments for medicine and at tendance; and his nephews, knowing this peculiarity, and desirous to avoid any subject of irritation, paid Mr. Ben net forty pounds, for medicine and attendance for three years up to 1829. In that year it is alleged that Mr. Dent voluntarily offered to enter into the agreement in dispute, for the purpose of securing Mr. Bennet's profes sional services, and as a reward for saving his life in a se vere illness. It is not alleged, however, that Mr. Dent's solicitor or any of his family were consulted on the propriety of the proceeding. Mr. Dent was eighty-six years of age when this agreement is alleged to have been entered into ; he lip el till h was linet: , and six manths after his death Bennet sent a polite note to the ex , cutors, requesting them to hand over to him the 25,000/. mentioned in the agree ment. The executors, who had heard nothing of this trans action from the deceased, refused payment. Mr. Bennet commenced an Action at law, but the Vice-Chancellor, in December, 1835, granted an injunction to stay this proceeding, and the cause now comes on for hearing on the merits.

The first part of the undertaking, as our readers may readily suppose, came of swimmingly. Many bets were depending on the issue of this disgusting match, which was won by " the Marquis" in a very superior style. —Lancaster Guardian. Notwithstanding the adjustment of the difference which Las for the last three months existed between the Kensington Magistrates and the Commissioners of Police, the police charges have been carried all the way to Queen square until Saturday, when they were for the first time taken before Sir John Scott Lillie, Mr. Codd (of Wor ship-street police-office), and Mr. Pilkington, the sitting Magistrates, at the new justice-room appointed by the Bench, No. 3, Kensington-square, where the sittings will in future be continued at nine o'clock every morning. The whole of the cases were, however, deficient of public inter rest, except a large number of summonses, under the local Act, against persons for suffering their dogs to be at large without being muzzled or confined by a string, &c. Among the number were Lady Whitbread, Captain Brett, and other respectable individuals, who all pleaded igno rance of the law, which imposes a penalty not exeeding and they were each fined in mitigated amounts, varying from Is. to 10s. and costs. THREE LIVES LOST.—A most shocking and fatal accident occurred on Tuesday evening last at Old Park, Shropshire. A young man, named Maddox, in re turning home with a horse and cart was drowned in the Canal at that place ; by what means he was immersed in the water is unknown ; he was found under the cart at the bottom of the Canal, with the horse also drowned attached to it. He was accidentally discovered by a boy passing, who perceived the wheels of the cart projecting from the water, and although there were many persons residing within a few yards of the spot, no alarm was given. On Wednesday night another melancholy affair occurred in the same canal, a short distance from the same place ; a man and his wife were both drowned. It appeared that a quarrel took place between the parties, when the woman left the house with the view of proceeding to the residence of one of her neighbours ; her husband followed, when she was heard to say that if he persisted in following her she would jump into the canal ; she put her threat into exe cution, and he immediately did the same, and both were lost.— Cambrian. _ _ Mr. K. BRUCE contended that the agreement was one which the Court could not sanction. It was an extremely doubtful matter whether the signature, Jonathan Dent, at the foot of the agreement, was in the handwriting of the deceased.'" There were credible witnesses who swore it was not. That was one of the objections to the defendant's claim. The second was, that even supposing the defendant had, by undue influence and misrepresentation, persuaded the old man to put his hand to such a document, still it was one that on the ground of public policy could not receive the sanction of that Court, because it was holding out a reward and a premium to a medical man to shorten the He of his patient. The third ground of objection was that a person claiming in this manner, in the character of the medical adviser oan infirm old man, must be able to show a case fl-ee from the shadow of suspicion. Mr. WIGRAM, for the defendant, commenced' by ob serving that this had been a most unfortunate busin'ess for Mr. Bennet, as the attempt to establish his right bad ruined him, and he was now defending the suit in forma pauperis. The Vice-Chancellor had refused to allow the matter to be tried at law, but that was, after all that had been said, the proper method of getting at the facts of the case. The plaintiffs imputed fraud to Mr. Bennet. Now, Mr. Bennet was willing to go before a Jury to prove his case and establish his character, and it was most unfortu nate that be was not allowed to do so, for even if the plain tiffs failed in their present bill, Mr. Bennet would still have to go back to a Court of Law to recover on the agreement. At four„ o'clock, the argument was postponed till to morrow. . . VICE-CHANCELLOR'SCOURT, Nor. 19 BALDWIN V. DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY The argument upon this motion was resumed. The object of the present application, upon a cross bill, was to restrain the Society from publishing the remainder of the series of their maps through any other persons than the trustees of Baldwin and Cradock. On a former occasion the Society had failed in a motion for an injunction to re strain the trustees from continuing to publish the earlier part of the series. That motion was founded on the con tracts and correspondence between the parties, which were also the foundation of this application. The motion was not concluded till a late hour. His HONOUR, in giving judgment, said, before he could consider whether the Court would specifically perform the agreement, he must see whether there was any agreement ; and his own opinion was, there had not yet been any dis tinct binding agreement between the parties ; and that it wr.s so, the framer of the bill evidently thought, from the constantly shifting language in which the thing called an agreement was alluded to. On the broad ground that there was no definite agreement, and that, if there were, it was not such as the Court could execute, he would refuse this speculative motion, with costs. BAIL COURT Nov. 16. THE QUEEN V. BRYANT. On a former day Mr. Cockburn obtained a writ of cer tiorari to remove into this Court an inquisition taken be fore the coroner for Tiverton on the body of Sarah Fry, a young girl who was accidentally run over by a waggon which was driven by the defendant, and against whom the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter. The object of that application was, that the defendant might be admitted to bail. The depositions having been read by the clerk of the Crown Office, Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE ordered the defendant to be admitted to bail on finding four sureties in the sum of 101. each for his appearance to take his trial on the above charge. Mr. COCKBURN then applied to his Lordship for a rule to show cause why the inquisition should not be quashed. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE granted a rule to show cause. ARCHES COURT,Nor. 19. THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED IN BREEES V WOOLFREY. This case, which has excited considerable interest, came on for hearing this morning. The Queen's Advocate (Sir JOHN DousoN) appeared in support of the libels. The Learned Civilian read them at length. They, in substance, charge Mrs. Woolfrey with erecting a tombstone in the the churchyard of Carisbrook, of whic church Mr. Breeks is Vicar, containing the fol lowing inscription from the 12th chapter of the 2d Mac cabees : " Pray for the soul of Joseph Woolfrey. 'ltis a good and wholesome thought to pray for the dead.."' The Learned Counsel should reserve what observations he had to offer until he had heard what was to be urged against the libels. Dr. Annams appeared to oppose the admission of the libels. The libel pleaded that the inscription was contrary to the articles agreed upon by the Convention of London in 1562, and repugnant to the word of God ; it then went on to state, that erec ting tombstones without the previous consent of the Vicar, or some lawful authority, was contrary to the rules, regulations, and discipline of the Church. These were the allegations against Mrs. Woolfrey ; and admitting that she had acted wrong she ought not to have been cited to appear in the Court, but admonished by civil process, and if that had been done he (Dr. Addams) should have advised the parties to remove the stone, which he had no doubt would have been complied with, and then the expense and scandal of the present proceed ings would have been saved. He should contend that the insciption was not contrary to the doctrines and canons of the Church of England, that it was not contrary to the 22d Article of the Church, on which the allegations were founded, neither was the inscription, in his opinion, re pugnant to the word of God. There was not a single word in the, Holy Scriptures about praying for the dead. Bishop Burnett, in a work that he published on the doctrine of purgatory, remarked that the doctrine of purgatory was not known in the Church of God until 600 years after the formation of that Church, but that prayers for the dead had always been observed. The Greek Church had never admitted the doctrine of purgatory, although it sanctioned and admitted prayers for the dead. Other writers clearly proved that the Roman Catholic Church admitted prayers for the dead upwards of three centuries before the doctrine of purgatory was pro mulgated, and the first Protestant Reformers admitted prayers for the dead into their Liturgy. Bishop Wheatley states that there were prayers for the dead in the first Pro testant Liturgy, and that that form was afterwards altered, as Wheatley affirmed, out of compliment to Calvin and others. It was afterwards altered to the words " Pray for the whole estate of Christ's Church," for which were subse quently substituted the words " Church militant." In the reign of Edward the First,the Burial Service contained a prayer for the dead. The Learned Counsel cited the autho rities of many other distinguished individuals in the Church, who stated that they did not consider praying for the dead to be repugnant to the word of God, or _opposed to the discipline of the Church . of England. M r . S trac h an, the Vicar of Islington, in his Life of Dr. Johnson, said that Dr. Johnson, up to the time of hi s d eat h , i nvar i a b ly prayed for his deceased wife ; and went on, w i t h out jus tifying the practice, to observe that even if i t was supersti tious, it was the most amiable of superstitions, as it proved surviving affection for departed friends, and those we loved on earth. In 1720 a long co n t roversy arose amongst di vines as to the propriety of omitti ng t h e prayers for the dead contained in the Liturgy published in the reign of Kies- Edward VI., at which it was contended very ably that recommending the soul s o f t h e d ead to the mercy of Christ was not a relic of Popery, neither was it repugnant to the Word of God, and that it was b ase d on reason, as, in the opinion of many, G o d would not pr O nounce final judgment on his creatures until the end of the world. In the fourth century all the liturgies in the world contained prayers for the dead, and he was not aware that the Church of England condemned such prayers at any period ; they only omitted to use them. Such being the case, he con fidently believed the Court would not think the present ease was brought within the libel now sought to be ad mitted. THE " TURNIP" DEMONSTRATION. — In the Sheriff Small Debt Court, upon the 24th of October last, Mr. Mathieson, a gardener, sued Mr. Findlay, and some leading me m b ers o f t h e W or ki ng M ens ' Association, for damages alleged to have been sustained by him through the meeting assembled at the Broadhill, on the 25th of August last, which the complainant denominated a nzob, and by which a field of turnips, belonging to him, on or near the hill, had been injured. The Sheriff assoilzied the de fenders.—Aberdeen Herald. AWKWARD PREDICAMENT.---011 Tuesday even ing, while a heckler, belonging to Lochee, named Alexander Reid, was strolling about in the Seagate, Dundee, under the influence of the jolly god, he was j o i ne d b y a soldier ; and both eagerly proposed an adjournment to a neigh bouring public-house, for the purpose of cementing more firmly their newly-horn friendship. After a deep carousal, he of the Queen's livery persuaded the h ec kl er to change clothes with him , a n d in an instant the soldier was trans formed into a heckler and the heckler into a soldier ; im mediately after which, the real soldier disappeared, and has not since been beard of. Shortly afterwards, the heckler, in his red habiliments, wasrapprehended on th e s t ree t, i n a state of beastly intoxication, and consigned to the police cells, intimation of the capture bein g d u l y given at the Barracks. The culprit was handed over t o th e command ing officer on the following morning, and was yesterday tried before the Justices, under the Mutiny Act, and sentenced to pay a fine of .5/ : , or undergo thirty days' impri sonment in Bridewell.—Ediriburgh Courant. HARVEST.—The Weather duri ng t h e past fort night has been cold, boisterous, and unsettled.On Sun day last, after a heavy fall of rain during the preceding night, the'sky became clear and serene, wi th a sharp w i n d from the north-east , and at night we h a d one of the se verest frosts we have experienced this season. During the present week the sky has been uncloud e d t h roughout t h e day, with a cutting easterly wind, and the ni g ht s h ave b ee n attended by severe frosts. The . distant mountains are capped with snow, and present a a!ntry app earance. M ean while in many elevated situations in the north ern count i es stooks of grain may be se en, and in some places even patches of oats unshorn I—N ewcastle Journal. ANOTHER MID-DAY adjourned been i obtained MURDER IN MA NCH ESTER . —The supposed-murderer( Whittel)of the t rave lli ng Scotch man named Henderson was committed l as t F r id ay, on whi eh daynguest was held. Aft er t h e evi dence ained against Whittle had been a which n h heard, the jury found a verdi.i of IYilful Murd e r aga inst him. The prisoner was accordingly committed to Kirkdale, fur trial at the Liverpool assizes. The Queen's Advocate (Sir JOHN DonsoN), in support of the libel, wished, in the first instance, to assure the Court that his client, the Rev. Mr. Breeks, in bringing this case foritard, was not in the most remote idea actu ated by feelings of personal enmity against Mrs. Woolfrey ; but he considered, as a Christian minister, who had sworn to maintain inviolate the doctrines of the Church of Eng land, that it was his bounden duty to prevent, as far as in him lay, any breach in the discipline of that Church. His (Sir John's) duty would be to show to the Court that the inscription in question was contrary to, and at variance with, the existing canons and constitution of the Church of England ; and to prove that such tombstone was erected without obtaining leave of the Vicar of the I Diocesan. His Learned Friend Doctor Addams said, if so, why was not Mrs. Woolfrey admonished to remove it, and if he (Dr. Addams) bad been applied to for advice, he would have recommended its removal. Now, the fact was, Mrs. Woolfrey had been frequently called upon to remove the stone, but she positively refused to do so, and, therefore, he considered the proper mode of pro ceeding against her was by articles, and not by monition. The proceeding adopted was the only proper one , and th e only one which could have been resorted to for the purpose of obtaining a legal authority peremptorily to order the mo nument to be removed. The inscription he considered completely at variance with and contrary to the discipline of the Church of England. The quotation, "Itis a good and wholesome thought to pray for the dead" was taken from 2 Mac., xii. 46. Now, he wished to inform the Court. that the quotation was taken from the Roman Ca tholic edition of the Bible, and formed part of the doctrine of the Popish Church. In the English version of the Bible the words real different, and there was not a 46th verse of the 12th chapter of the Second Book of Mac cabees. The English translation, he wished to press upon the mini of the Court, was in different words to the Romish version ; and the inscription was taken from that part of the Apocrypha used by Roman Catholics in sup port of the doctrine of pu , g,ttory, which ,he (Sir John D elson) contended was at total valiance with the 22d article of the Church of England. It was impossible for the Court to say that the erection of a tombstone with such an inscription was not at variance with the cations and discipline of the Established Church. Sir HeneEtte. Jeetelea said, the Court would take time to consider its decision, as the c ;s - , was a novel one.— ledgment postponed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE HATTON GARDEN. Yesterday,- Mr. George Lemon, jun., son of Mr. Leman, coach-builder, of No. 2, Smith's-ph:cc, Gray's Inn-road, was placed at the bar before Messrs. Rogers and Beuett under the following circumstances. Mr. Thomas Leman, whose head was severely injured, resided .at No. 2, Smith's-place, Gray's Inn-road. On Sunday morning last, about. half-past twelve o'clock, he returned home to his father's premises in Smith's-place, and on entering a yard belonging to his father he saw Hands, the constable, No. 132 G, lying on a plank under the gateway quite drunk. Witness said, " What are you doing there ?" On which he jumped up and said, " I will let you know," when he dragged ,witness violently and struck him over the head and body with his stuff. Witness said, " My name is Thomas Leman, I live here, you know tne." He replied," Yes, I know you," and continued beat ing him. Witness laid hold of the posts near the crate way and refused to go to the station-house, when Hands sprung his rattle, and Bonner, No. 56, came up and struck him a violent blow on his head with his staff and wounded him severely. He called out " Murder," when his father, mother, brother, and some friends came to his assistance, and they were also beaten indiscriminately by the consta bles, and his brother was taken to the station-house. Mr. ROGERS said it was a most serious case, and he was ready to inflict the heaviest penalties upon both the constables. Mr. BENETT thought that Bonner required more con sideration than Hands, and although he would prefer send ing the case before a Jury at the Sessions, he would agree to a fine if Mr. Rogers was so inclined. Mr. BENETT and Mr. ROGERS consulted, and Hands was convicted in the penalty of 71. and Bonner 51., and, in default of payment, to be committed to the House of Cor rection. The term of imprisonment was not mentioned. The prisoners were locked up, and prior to being taken to the House of Correction they were stripped of their uniform. MARYLEBONE. Yesterday four most determined looking ruffians, veil() gave their names Charles Braille, John Houston, and John and Charles Poole (brothers) were charged with a despe rate outrage, The prisoners, after a most severe lecture, were fined 51, each, being 201. altogether, and in default committed for two months. QUEEN- S Q UA RE. Margaret Skelly, servant to Mr. Choffy, of the New Stu• and Crown, Broadway, Westminster, was yesterday charged with robbing her master, under the following singular cir cumstances :—For a length of time past prosecutor had missed articles of different descriptions ,to a considerable amount, but could in noway account for their disappearance. This induced the son to hide himself, after the house was shut up on Sunday night, in the bar parlour, and he had been there but a few minutes when be heard something jump on the staircase like a cat, and in a minute or two afterwards the prisoner walked into the bar, filled two bottles of brandy from the taps, helped herself to some sugar and cold meat, and then to some silver and half pence from the till. The prisoner slept at the top of the house, and as the door crossing the staircase was locked, he could not imagine how she came there, and, on fol lowing, to his surprise discovered that she had fastened a long strip of calico to the banisters above the door on the landing, and had by that means descended a distance of twelve or fourteen feet. At the very moment he laid hold of her, she was running up the shroud , : with - the alacrity of a sailor, part of the provender she had stolen being in her pocket, and the remainder slung round her body, the lady being en chemise. It was ascertained that the prisoner had taken several other things previously. She was fully committed for trial. WILNA, OCT. 28.—(From the Russian Papers.) —ln consequence of a conspiracy discovered in the king dom of Poland and in the Western Governments, one of the ringleaders of which, Simon Konarsky, with many of his accomplices, is in prison at Wilna, his Majesty the Em peror has been pleased to order that all the property, real and personal, of the participators in seditious plots shall be immediately sequestrated, and placed under the care of the Crown ; and this measure is to be applied not only to those persons who are now under arrest in consequence of the suspicion which attaches to them, but to all others who in the course of the investigation shall be accused and found guilty, so that the sequestration shall take place at the s a me time with the arrest of such persons. The Military Governor of Wilna has therefore sent to the Governor of the province of Wilna a list of the persons implicated who are in confinement, and proposed to it immediately to adopt measures to sequestrate the real and personal property of such persons wherever it may be found, that it may be placed under the superintendence of the Crown. The list contains the names of fifteen persons.—Prussian State Ga zette, Nov. 15. EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—On Tuesday morning, as Mr. T. Crook, of Broomfield, was sitting in his parlour, he was surprised by the breaking of the window, and the sudden appearance in the room of one of his large deer—it had leaped through one pane of glass only, and had not, broken the window frame. The intruder was easily cap tured, when it was found to be much cut. The size of the pane was only 25 inches by 17.—Chelmsford Chronicle. (!) On Saturday evening, as Mr. Newton, of St. Faith, was returning home, he was stopped near the toll-bar by two men, who demanded his money ; beinr , a powerful man, he knocked the first man down, and had nearly over come the other, when a third fellow, from behind, struck him a violent blow on the head, which broke his skull ; the three ruffians then stamped on his body, and robbed him of his watch and 30s. Mr. Newton, who is likely to do well, notwithstanding the serious nature of his injuries, threw his purse into the grass during the struggle, where it was found the following morning.—Bury Post. Dowton is one of senior actors on the British stage, and, though upwards of seventy years of age, enjoys all his faculties, like Braham, is full of life and dramatic ardour, and acts with great vigour. Herbert, the, son of the late Mr. S. Branker, of Favant, who was born blind, fell into a pond near his mother's residence on Saturday se'nnight, and was drowned. This young gentleman, although labouring under this severe deprivation, had acquired great skill in playing on the piano and organ ; he also sang with great taste and judgment. He was in the habit of walking for miles round the country without a guide, in one of which rambles he lost - his life. Since the acquittal of that infamous woman, named Levy, at the last Central Criminal Court Sessions, the pro stitution nuisance in the Strand has become worse than ever ; indeed it has proceeded to such a fearful extent that it is impossible for any respectable female to pass from the new church to Wellington-street, particularly, without her ears being assailed with the most disgusting language. These wretches insist upon claiming the pavement as a right, and in many instances respectable persons, rather than come in contact with them, are compelled to cross the Strand or walk in the road. Something ought to be done in the matter, for the police seein verylittle inclined to afford the necessary- protection to persons passing that way. It is to be hoped that the Magistrates of the district will look to the subject. ~...~' ~ SPORTING INTLLIGENC, TATTERSALL' S—Y.ssTERD4 Y. THE DERBY.
